摘要

The sophisticated shaping of electromagnetic field landscapes, both outside and inside optical cavities, has long been an important goal of optics and photonics, with broad applications in near-field imaging, lithography, and laser science. Despite extensive progress in far-field shaping of extracavity landscapes, achieving accurate tailoring of three-dimensional intracavity fields has remained elusive. Here, we propose full-space adjoint-enabled freeform meta-optics for complex, on-demand vector field shaping of intracavity landscapes. In contrast with conventional semi-space adjoint approaches, the full-space adjoint strategy allows for efficient full-wave optimization of vector fields at the subwavelength scale, overcoming strong multiple scattering and interference intrinsic to enclosed cavity boundaries. We experimentally demonstrate tailored plasmonic cavity landscapes with a freeform metasurface mask, realizing a fivefold enhancement in imaging fidelity without sacrificing optical super-resolution performance. Our work significantly broadens the scope of freeform meta-optics and may open new avenues for applications in nanophotonics, topological photonics, and quantum optics.
